Made from Chardonnay, it combines the creamy richness associated with Meursault with floral elegance, lively freshness and a beautifully polished finish.

The palate is creamy and generous, yet marked by impressive finesse and balance. A refreshing finish adds energy and length, making the wine approachable in its youth while giving it the structure to develop greater complexity over the next several years in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from the Clos Saint Félix Monopole in Meursault, a vineyard exclusively owned by Domaine Michelot. The domaine deliberately limits treatments in the vineyard and follows a carefully planned ploughing programme to maintain healthy soils. Harvesting is carried out by hand, with the best grapes selected in the vineyard. After a light crushing, the fruit undergoes a 6–12-hour cold skin maceration, followed by alcoholic fermentation in oak barrels and 100% malolactic fermentation. The wine is matured in barriques, 15% of which are new, for 10–12 months, followed by a further 5–6 months of ageing on the lees to achieve balance and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA natural partner for shellfish and seafood dishes, this Meursault is especially well suited to lobster, crab, prawns, scallops and delicately prepared fish. Its creamy texture also complements richer sauces, poultry and lightly seasoned white meats. Serve chilled at approximately 11–13°C. Decanting is not essential for a young vintage, but 20–30 minutes of air in a carafe can help reveal its floral aromas and soften its oak character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine Michelot has been owned and operated by the Michelot family for six generations and now covers more than 19 hectares, including a number of prestigious Premier Cru vineyards. The domaine places strong emphasis on maintaining its independence as both grower and winemaker, rather than following a formal organic certification system. Its restrained vineyard approach, manual selection and precise élevage have helped establish Domaine Michelot as a respected name in Meursault and the wider Côte de Beaune.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine Michelot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54462622990673,"sku":"VDZ-10570089300304-53331279905104","price":98.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/mich030.png?v=1785498033","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/domaine-michelot-meursault-clos-saint-felix-monopole-2024-white","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
